ULTIMEA - Nova S50

I got the Ultimea Nova S50 for $140cad and for a family (besides me) that only care about clear dialogue, it’s been great. Keeping my expectations in check, for the price, it sounds clear, has way more depth than any tv will have, is convenient having eArc and has been going strong for 1.5years now. I would have to spend a lot more to get a noticeably better audio experience imo (like $400-$500 range) and that wasn’t a responsible amount for me to spend when my family has other needs. As long as you keep expectations in check, I’m sure both options listed would be good. Especially with the added surrounds

$200 is tough. I enjoy my Ultimea Nova S50 for its compact size, great clarity and sound for its size plus it’s super cheap. But having said that you can get some really awesome soundbars by upping your budget to $400, $600 or $800 if that’s a possibility.

My Ultimea nova s50 is miles better then my TVs speakers, got it for $149cad off prime. Super small and barely noticeable too

I enjoy my Ultimea Nova S50. Super compact is what I needed, clarity is impressive for the price too

I’m happy with my Ultimea s50 nova, pretty good for how small it is.

I’ve got the nova s50 and love it. I needed a bar 3” or less in height and not $1000 and it fit the bill. For casual tv/movies while scrolling it’s fantastic. If you want a super in-depth sound experience for movies you’re best to go with a higher end Ultimea or a different brand.

I love my Ultimea Nova s50 and use it for watching tv shows on the family tv. Sounds pretty damn good for its price

From my point of view, this Ultimea brand is excellent in terms of quality and price. I have a Nova S50 and wow, I'm not complaining, it's excellent. I hope to buy a higher-end model soon.

Having peeped the Ultimea lineup based on the buzz from here, they're merely mid-level cabecillas, that will likely take the place of Vizio now that Walmart's subjugation and annexation of that brand sent them in a death spiral towards oblivion alongside Onn! I would've been satisfied with the typical "black plastic crap" sound of Ultimea & other nobodies had I not been a reporter on a university student newspaper in the early '70s for my fellow scribes introduced me to 🎖️& platinum 👂ed audio as they enthusiastically waxed rhapsodic about McIntosh, Mark Levinson & Nakamichi hardware, I ended up getting hooked on that class of audio!

Ultimea is the best value soundbar. I got an Apollo S40 on the Facebook Marketplace for $20, and it's more than adequate for a great 2.1 channel set-up. It has 2 tweeters and two woofers per channel and a subwoofer-out port. You can also buy refurbished models from their official Temu store named 'Ultimea Refurbished' to save 40 to 60%. Although for a PC in particular you should probably look for a PC-specific soundbar and surround system from someone like Logitech. There are lots of them on Facebook for less than $55.

Ultimea is not bad, but these cheap ones keep firing bass lol

Ultimea for me. Bought last year D80 boom. But if you prefer with height up firing Speakers get the sky wave x series. Besides affordability without breaking a bank but standard Dolby Atmos speakers is my preference for now. But if you have extra budget. Get the bar 800mk2 or 1000 of JBL. With regards to your preferred brand against LG, Sony theater 6 is better but extra functionality of Sony features will require Sony TV. Nevertheless its all good. Check also Polk magnifi series.
